On CAPS, 98%of the 1,476 members who have rated IPG believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward.

A couple of months ago, one of those bulls, csqrd, succinctly summed up the IPG bull case for our community:

Strong competitive lead in fiber lasers which provide industrial applications with efficiency improvements over traditional lasers. Growing market and best technology. Over 20% [return on equity] and low debt which provides leverage to take advantage of additional opportunities in technology improvements and adjacent markets.

If you want market-thumping returns, you need to put together the best portfolio you can. Owning exceptional stocks is a surefire way to secure your financial future. Of course, despite its five-star rating, IPG may not be your top choice.
